At the moment I use VO5 Fibre Putty, its ok but need to be used when my hairs totally dry or it just goes flat, also it tends to make my hair so stringy and just not so great, i have about 80% success rate with it, I also use it with VO5 gel for some hold some times when it gets longer as I have cowlick bits in my fringe that screw up any style!

Im looking for something that has decent hold so wont require hair spray or gels to hold it and also something that can keep a more matte look and hold a style well, all the stuff i use looses style after a few hours without gel assist which makes it hard and shiny!

My hair is pretty thick and very straight and when nothings in it it look kind of straw like and dried out so i pretty much have some sort of product in it every time i go out!

Any recommendations that fit these criteria? Can supply more info if necessary!
